Overview:
With a gorgeous coastline and
over 1,100 islands,
Croatia is one of Europe's top seaside
destinations. But it's much, much more than just sea and
sunshine.
Croatia has everything from picture-perfect, historic walled
cities to spectacular Roman ruins, imposing castles, unspoilt
national parks and some of the clearest waters you’ll find
anywhere on the Adriatic. Fantastic cuisine (including exquisite
seafood on the coast and truffles in Istria), good local wines
and a buzzing café culture all add to the appeal. The country's
capital, Zagreb, is truly Central European. Everything from the
architecture to the hearty culinary offer reflects the region's
centuries-old ties with Austro-Hungary and the city also makes a
good base for visiting the historic castles and vineyards of
Zagorje. Throughout Croatia travel guide there are seven UNESCO
World Heritage Sites, numerous museums and dozens of festivals.
Rugged mountain ranges such as Velebit and Gorski kotar are a
haven for hiking, while the Adriatic offers ideal conditions for
sailing, scuba-diving and sea-kayaking. Those in search of a
more restful holiday can enjoy hours of sunshine on the beach -
and remember, as Europe's top naturist destination, Croatia is
one place you can finally get that all-over tan.
